Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We went to a local beach today and the three cousins loved it. The one year old trapsed out to the water until he shivered so much I brought him back to our spot on the sand and wrapped him in beach towels. The two year old fell in love with a large plastic shovel and either wanted to dig in the sand himself or get one of us to do it. He had no interest in the water. The four year old dug for crabs and found a dead one, then splashed happily in the surf. We all went back to our daughter's house for tacos and the visiting cousin was in ectasy over his two counsins' cornicophia of trucks and toys. He really loved a recycling truck. We all had a great time until the oldest needed his quiet time, the youngest got up from his nap and the visiting cousin was taken home for his nap. It soothes my heart to see the grandchildren playing with each other. The four year old was so sweet with the two year old. I was proud of him. He sent me home with a painted picture of a lobster. Very delicious looking.
